Discussion
L_SECT clears text from and/or places text into a list header, footer, or title. By default, text is displayed at the current position (D_DISPLAY), which is generally left-justified, unless a previous call to L_SECT has changed the current position.
L_SECT clears the entire affected row (D_CLEAR) by default unless you specify one of the other clearing flags (D_CLRBOL, D_CLREOL, D_NOCLEAR).
The D_POSITION flag positions the text by specifying the row and column on which the text should begin. Toolkit positions the text before it clears or justifies text, so justification nullifies a col setting. Additionally, if you pass D_POSITION, you must pass both row and col.
On Windows, the active theme determines the location of the title; D_TITLE, has no effect.
When using D_HEADER or D_FOOTER with an ActiveX Toolkit list, use vertical bars (|) to explicitly divide column headings or footers and to set the minimum column width. If you don’t use vertical bars (or if you pass D_NOVLINE), Toolkit will divide the text in ways that may not make sense. Don’t use D_CENTER or D_RIGHT, which aren’t designed to be used in this situation.
By default, ActiveX Toolkit list columns resize automatically when a column header or footer is changed, unless the user has manually resized a column. You can change this behavior by passing D_COLNORESIZE to prevent resizing or D_COLFORCESIZE to force resizing even when a user has resized a column.
On UNIX and OpenVMS, only the D_LEFT, D_CENTER, and D_RIGHT flags have any effect for D_TITLE, and the text is centered by default.
Examples
The following clears the list header by specified by mylst and then centers the message within it.
xcall l_sect(mylst, "No available items", D_HEADER, D_CLEAR, D_CENTER)
